Sotmayor: Heller is settled law
Well, maybe. Reportedly, she’s made two contradictory statements.
“Clearly she spoke to the fact that settled law is just that, and the Heller case has been considered by the court, and she sees that as the law, and she will work off of what the court decided as other cases may come to the court’s attention,” Udall said.
DeMint also questioned Sotomayor about gun rights in a meeting earlier this week, and later criticized her for refusing to say the Second Amendment “protects a fundamental right that applies to all Americans.” He said Sotomayor’s statement on Heller “doesn’t tell us much” about her view of the issue given the position she took this year in Maloney.
